The delicate floral aroma of this drink makes it perfect for sipping in the garden; the antioxidants and low caffeine levels in green tea mean you can enjoy it all day long. Notes: Tea keeps up to 2 days. Ingredients:
1 stalk fresh lemon grass |
1/2 cup sugar |
7 thin slices fresh ginger |
5 bags green tea |
Directions:
1. Rinse lemon grass, cut into 2-inch lengths, and crush with the flat side of a large knife.
2. In a 2-quart pan, bring 5 cups water, sugar, ginger, and lemon grass to a boil. Take off heat and add green tea bags; let steep about 4 minutes or until flavor is as strong as you like. Discard tea bags; let tea cool, about 30 minutes.
3. Pour through a fine strainer into a pitcher. Cover and chill until cold, at least 2 hours (see Notes). Pour into tall glasses filled with ice.
